How's Liverpool so bad? They have Gerrard who I think is the best player in the world and Xabi Alonso, Crouch etc are solid players.

liverpools problem is their defense, reina is a quality keeper going through a confindense crisis after a bad start to the season but hes started to pick it up, hyypia is too old / too slow to start every game, carragher and damiel agger are top class but get made to look like fools by their fulls backs, steve finnan (who is very slow and allways plays people onside cause he has no brain) and john arne riise who just doesnt seem to try every game, fabio aurelio, the cover for left back is not a good defender at all and is weak, and they dont have any cover for right back
